Ohio History Center
The Ohio History Center features a monumental scale, exposed concrete, and simple use of other materials. Some of the building's concrete is smooth, most at eye-level is board form concrete, where lumber is used to form its shape. When removed, the boards leave wood grain impressions in the concrete.
Other materials used include Ohio-made silo tiles, dark-stained oak, terrazzo, and glass.
W. Byron Ireland designed the building with post-tensioned concrete structures, allowing for a cantilevered design
